Meet the breeder

I'm Shell H., the breeder behind Da-Koda High Kennels located in Wyocena, WI. We’re a small family operation that strives for exceptional Pointing Chocolate Labradors that will provide you with as much success in the field or hunt test scenarios as they will joy in your home. Pedigrees, genetic testing, and dispositions all play into our breeding decisions. Our dogs work hard, play hard, love hard, and are part of the family. We prepare all of our pups to excel in life.

Q. & A. with Shell

  • Why did you start breeding?

    Our desire is to breed Chocolate Pointing Labradors that have what it takes to be successful in the competitive arena, and have the off-switch to be a great home companion as well. It has been an absolute joy of a journey, and we are so happy to be able to share these wonderful dogs with other loving families and individuals.
  • What makes your program special?

    Pedigrees, health clearances, natural point, personalities, and size are our most important criteria, followed by titles. We strive for intelligent dogs with exceptional temperaments and natural abilities. We truly love our puppies and know you will, too! We pride ourselves on helping all of our clients find the right fit for their needs and lifestyle.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include black, chocolate, and yellow. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
  • Where do your breeding dogs live?

    They live in my home and a kennel on my property.
